CAWI (Canadian Advisory of Women Immigrants)
As members of the Canadian Advisory of Women Immigrants, CAWI, we wanted to continue community building by addressing taboo topics in relation to immigrants, as it is crucial for both community wellness and the personal growth of immigrant women.
This episode will tackle the issue of toxic workplace culture surrounding women, specifically in the West. This is a collaborative and casual discussion about the nature of this topic, as well as our thoughts on its implications and solutions.
This episode focuses on Ana and Mehjabeen's personal experiences as first and second-generation Canadians, where they discuss themes of diversity and inclusion through an intersectional lens.
In this episode, we continue to focus on the importance of de-stigmatizing mental health, aiming to establish conversations that break down stereotypes, help aid recovery, and improve relationships with others and ourselves. This week's guest is both a nurse and therapist: Aneta Bujno, who started her practice Beyond the Self, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is a discussion about how immigrants experience mental health and the ways it's extremely important and necessary to destigmatize mental health as a whole. This week's guest is Stacey, a first-generation immigrant from Kazakhstan, currently living in Vancouver who has decided to share her immigration story and personal journey with mental health.
This is just a little bit about us, the team behind the podcast, and our mission as part of CAWI to empower women immigrants.
